3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Classy on his day and although not at his best at Deauville in July when last seen, he had been better than ever when winning a Group 2 at York (6f, good) in May; some form claims despite the penalty but flat tracks suit him well and he's having his first run on this one; yard also represented by Division. |
8/1 |

1st 8 (1) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Steps up further in class but he has progressive York form and brings impressive stats, being 3-4 over C&D (gained last win cosily in good-ground Listed race) and 4-9 in headgear, which is reapplied with Newmarket reappearance under his belt; has a better chance than bare ratings suggest. |
12/1 |
|
9th 5 (8) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Has form on the Newmarket tracks but recorded last three wins at York, including when beating Crestofdistinction with more in hand than the narrow margin suggests in Listed grade on most recent appearance; likely to be more interesting when back at that venue. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
On a hat-trick after 5f wins in conditions event at Beverley (good) and handicap at York (soft) in recent weeks; first Catterick visit but it's a track which should suit this strong-travelling, prominent racer; high on the list. |
100/30 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Several good runs for his new yard this year and likely to give his running; surprising if one, or both, of the big two didn't have his measure. |
6/1 |
|
12th 10 (11) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won here (5f, good to firm) in June; ran two fine races at Goodwood's Glorious meeting and again when third behind Air Force One at York last month (travelled best); soft ground wouldn't have been ideal when second of six at Goodwood two weeks ago; drying conditions would be in his favour and he has the ability to get involved. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Ended a long losing sequence at Thirsk (6f) in July; has posted solid third placings at Ascot (5f) and Windsor (6f) since so should remain competitive nudged up 1lb. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 (1) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Lost his way as a 3yo but he had smart 6f handicap form last May and a close second to Diligently over C&D (good to firm) in June signalled a return to better days; a Thirsk win at 6f and a close third over 5f at Ascot have followed and he can be in the thick of it. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Has kept his head down on AW for new yard and again without the cheekpieces he wore for the latest of four wins (6f and 7f) for previous stable; back on turf with a query but he's dropped a hefty chunk in the weights and this trainer may well get a good tune out him at some stage. |
33/1 |

12th 3 (8) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Very well handicapped on his best form for Richard Hughes but miles below that level since moving yards. |
33/1 |
|
8th 1 (10) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
4-21, with the most recent success coming at Newbury (6f, good) last April off a 12lb higher mark than today's; below his best on his final three starts for Richard Hughes and has failed to beat a rival home in two outings for this stable; others preferred. |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Dual Tapeta winner last year who's looked to find this mark just beyond him in three runs back; pulled hard and didn't see it out last time (7f) but this will be more about speed on his first ever crack at sprinting. |
8/1 |
|
4 (5) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Has won two of his five races since gelded, both over 7f on the Southwell Tapeta; latest fourth at Newcastle (7f) was a fine run as well, with the first three ridden handier and he found some trouble in running; should get involved if as effective back on turf. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
His 2026 form is unconvincing; the step back up in trip may suit (last two starts at 5f) but not a solid option. |
16/1 |
|
9th 9 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
His 2026 form is unconvincing and the drop back to 5f didn't help at Goodwood last week; dropping down the weights but not a solid option. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Remains consistent enough but has become hard to win with and doesn't have much room for manoeuvre off this mark, which is 4lb higher than when going in at Windsor in July; may well be dropped in again from a wide stall. |
10/1 |
|
8 (12) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Consistent sort who is campaigned regularly at Windsor and he landed a 6f handicap there in July; poorly drawn when fifth of nine there (6f) three weeks ago; no forlorn hope. |
25/1 |
|
5th 6 (9) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Never easily knocked when competing here; had no excuses behind a couple of these 12 days ago but ran his usual sold race; has won on slow and fast ground. |
